H.R. 6198:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 6198 would freeze all naturalization of Legal Permanent Residents until the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) is completed. It would also revoke naturalization from aliens that DHS has good cause to believe shouldn't have been eligible.

H.R. 6252:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 6252, the Ending Sanctuary Cities Act, would restrict sanctuary cities, including those that don't honor detainers, from ANY Federal financial assistance. It would also give local officers Federal authority to honor detainers and make it unlawful to discharge or discriminate against an officer for honoring a detainer.

H.R. 5853:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5853, the Empowering Local Law Enforcement Act, would make 287(g) agreements mandatory, require the Secretary of DHS to provide removal and detainer details to the NCIC and LESC systems, and authorize state and local officers to issue Federal detainers, transfer aliens to Federal custody, and requires prioritization for removal.

H.R. 5398:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5398, the Immigration for a Competitive America Act, would move some family-based green card categories to employment-based categories and lead to the quadrupling of H-1B guest-worker visas. The legislation would also mandate E-Verify and strengthen criminal penalties for employers, but would allow foreign workers to claim tax credits for their children.

H.R. 4007:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 4007, the ALERTED Act of 2015, would strengthen interior enforcement by allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to consider issuing a detainer for an alien who has violated laws other than those related to controlled substances.

H.R. 3928:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 3928, the Ending the Sanctuary Capitol Policy Act of 2015, would allow the Capitol Police to enforce existing federal immigration laws on Capitol property. This legislation could potentially reduce the number of illegal aliens who currently lobby for amnesty legislation on Capitol Hill.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
